Last week I was in San Jose and got to meet Ulf. One of the things Ulf mentioned was that he had obtained the specs on the new adaptec 3985 part which evidently supports these sorts of things. This would be a terrific thing to implement - news expiration would be a major beneficiary of this work. I already regard FreeBSD as the ultimate web server, it is pretty damn close to the ultimate news box as well. This would sort of push things over into the "intuitively obvious" range.
